aboriginal paintings

The aboriginal paintings were awesome. They painted animals showing their bones structures. The reason they painted was a function of I think religion and not magic. Where magic they would paint seeking to gain something but they didn’t they painted to help preserve the land. They also could not be painted anywhere they had to be painted in specific areas with old paintings painted over. They also showed where the gods had painted and how they knew it was the gods because the style was without showing the bones like the aboriginals did. Painting was how they made their connection to the dream time a time a pure creation. Cool Stuff.
